Th~s device will prevent outgoing long-distance calls on
your telephorie or phone line. It was devised by a reader
v~ho discovered tbat the local phone office in his area
reverses the polarity of the low-voltage for one second
after a long distance, or operator, or 211 call is dialed.
Installin~ a diode, which does not permit current to flow
through it in one direction, prevents this one-second
re~rerse current from flowing and thus the phone acts a~s
if it was hung up for tbat second. ~us you get a new
dial tone. ~ see if it v~ill work on vo~r line, try it. The
diode, which should be at least 100 volts and 1 amp, will
gi~re you a dial tone if installed correctly, and will allow
no sound at all if you put in backwards. In tbat case you
should reverse the two wires. If you wire
a switch across the diode, you can bypass it for special
use, A magnetic reed switch in the phone can be used by
placing a magnet near the switch for that critical one-
second perlod after dialing the long-distance call. Ihen
the magnet can be removed.
Obviously one reason for publisbing YIPL ~s to do with
free speech Free speech lL~se ~ "wh;y should anyone pey
for ~ll~ng" and Eree speech like in '~ shouldn't any-
one be allowed to print any Idnd o! informatLon they wau~t
inclnding how to rip o~ the phone company. As rewaled
in issue no. 14, the phone company is trying to bulld a
~e against YIPL. It is also moving on other grournds,
namely to convince legislators to pass laws prohtbiting
the pub~shing of this irlio. Many states, notably Callior-
nia have already moved in this area. However, none of
these ~ws has yet to be tested constitutionally. Neither
YIPL nor Steal This Book nor any underground puWic-
ation here has been prevented ~om publishing any info,
namely because there are no New York lsws making it
illeg~. I^st year throngh the determined eflorts of

Recently my closest ~iend had an unusaal experience on
the phone. He wa~ ~lläng to the receptionist at a ma~or
insurance company when a frea~ connection occured. As
clear as day they both fonnd themselves listening to a
conversation between ~o big narcotics dealers arranging
for an exchange of a brown package containing raw heroin
for $300, 000 in cash. The person with the heroin was to
pull up to a midtown Manhattan newstand in a heavily
populated area at 10 minutes before 8:00 P. h~ Re was
to leave the pscl~ge on the newstand. Sunultaneously
the other ~rt~r was to leave t~ cash in a folded up
newspaper on the same newstand. The car was clearly
~dentilied as was the place.Ib make it even heavier, one
of the dudes discussed having to bump off ~o people the
night before. ~t was 4:30 P. M. My friend ~d 3 hours to
come ~p with a plan. What would you h~ve done? The n
next 3 hours were jam-packed with excitement and hets
currenly working on a screenplay about the whole not-t~
be-bel eved event.
What happened will be in the next ~ssue. Maybe.

a way, however, and that is for anyone who wa~ts to meet
